Err, I thought the only way to "break a link" was to call unlink() or something which eventually calls unlink(). $ ~/tmp> echo hi > a $ ~/tmp> ln a b $ ~/tmp> cat b hi $ ~/tmp> echo bye > b $ ~/tmp> cat a bye So darcs pretty much has to be unlinking the file and creating a new one with the same name. How does that break with symbolic links? Michael
